Step 1 Greeting and Lead - in (5 minutes)
The teacher warmly greets the students and has a simple daily conversation, such as
"How was your weekend? What interesting things did you do?" to create a relaxed
classroom atmosphere.
Show some science - fiction pictures or short videos about future life, such as future
cities, transportation, robots, etc. Guide the students to observe and ask questions like
"What can you see in these pictures/videos? What do you think our life will be like in
the future?" Encourage the students to express their imaginations in simple English to
lead in the theme of this lesson - making predictions about the future.
Step 2 Vocabulary Learning (8 minutes)
Use the PPT to display the vocabulary in 1a one by one, such as "prediction", "less",
"outer space", "climate change", "AI", "robots", etc. Lead the students to read the
words and correct their pronunciations. Help the students understand the meanings of
the words by showing relevant pictures, animations, or short video clips. For example,
play a video about the impact of climate change to explain "climate change", and
show pictures of robots working to explain "robots".
Distribute word cards. Let the students work in pairs. One student shows the card, and
the other reads the word and says its meaning. Then they switch roles. The teacher
walks around the groups to check the students' practice and give timely guidance and
help.
Play a vocabulary game called "Word Chain". The teacher says a word, such as
"prediction". The students take turns to say a new word starting with the last letter of
the previous word, like "outer space", "climate change", etc. Through this game,
stimulate the students' learning interest and deepen their memory of the vocabulary.
Step 3 Listening Practice (10 minutes)
Let the students look at the predictions in 1a. The teacher says, "Now, let's listen to
some conversations. Please listen carefully and circle the predictions you hear in 1b."
Play the recording of 1b, and the students listen and complete the task.
After playing the recording, invite the students to share their answers. The teacher
checks the answers and gives a simple explanation of the listening content to help the
students understand the key information in the listening material.
Play the recording of 1b again. Let the students listen and complete the task in 1c,
judging the sentences as true or false. After playing, invite the students to share their
answers, check and explain the answers to help the students understand the listening
content. When explaining the answers, the listening text can be combined to help the
students better understand the sentence structures and key information.
Step 4 Oral Practice (7 minutes)
The teacher makes a demonstration: "Let's talk about the predictions in 1a. Will we be

able to live on earth in 100 years? I think we will. Because people will take good care
of the earth." Guide the students to observe the pictures and use the learned
vocabulary and the simple future tense to discuss and communicate about the
predictions in 1a.
Let the students work in pairs. They choose one of the predictions and have a
conversation practice, expressing their views and reasons to each other. The teacher
walks around the groups, encourages the students to speak actively, and corrects their
grammar mistakes and pronunciation problems in time.
Invite several pairs of students to show their conversations. The other students listen
carefully and give evaluations. The evaluation content includes the accuracy of
vocabulary usage, the correctness of sentence patterns, and the fluency of expression.
The teacher summarizes and gives feedback on the students' performance, gives
affirmation and encouragement, and also puts forward suggestions for improvement.
Step 5 Pronunciation Practice (5 minutes)
Play the pronunciation - practice audio and display the classification of phonetic
symbols, such as /n/ (news, mind, etc.), /ŋ/ (song, hang, etc.). Let the students follow
and imitate, paying attention to the mouth - shape and tongue - position of
pronunciation.
Play the audio again. The students follow the audio, and the teacher emphasizes the
rhythm and intonation of the sentences. Invite individual students to imitate and read
aloud. The teacher corrects and guides them to help the students master the correct
pronunciation skills.
Step 6 Listening and Oral Expansion (10 minutes)
Play the recording of the conversation in 2a. Let the students listen and think about
the question: "What will the future be like according to Jennifer?" After playing the
recording, invite the students to answer the question.
Play the recording again. The students follow the recording and imitate the
pronunciation and intonation. Then let the students work in pairs and read the
conversation in roles, paying attention to the pronunciation, intonation, and emotional
expression.
Invite several pairs of students to show their performance. The other students listen
carefully and give evaluations. The teacher finally summarizes and gives feedback.
